About Strauss

Strauss is a lovable 2-month-old pup currently waiting for his forever home in Wheeling, IL. He arrived alongside his mom and eight siblings after being found abandoned in southern Illinois when they were about 4.5 weeks old. Fortunately, Heartland Animal Shelter rescued the litter just in time and brought them into their care. This little guy is full of charm and adores attention. When he’s not busy winning hearts, Strauss enjoys playful moments with his brothers and sisters. He's eager to learn and is very treat-motivated, making him a prime candidate for training and a wonderful addition to any household. Strauss is neutered and up to date on core vaccinations for his age. His adoption fee is $450. It's important to know that he'll need a rabies vaccine once he reaches 4 months and a Heartworm test between 6-7 months at your vet. As a puppy, anticipate some work on housebreaking, which should be approached with positive reinforcement training. Ready to meet Strauss? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
